Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos Jr has instructed the armed forces to de-escalate tensions in the South China Sea, Manila's military chief said on Thursday, in line with recent consultations held between Chinese and Filipino officials. General Romeo Brawner told reporters that the military presented the president with several options on its operations in the South China Sea, including routine resupply missions to troops in a disputed shoal that have raised tensions with Beijing. The Philippines and China, longstanding rivals in the strategic waterway, agreed on Tuesday for the need to "restore trust" and "rebuild confidence" following a high-level meeting.
